    Sorry guys. I’m really trying hard, but I can’t share your enthusiasm. I’m scrolling through the list of new features over and over but for the first time since 2008 I can’t seem to convince myself that upgrading to 7 makes much sense. I think the lack of new design, or egde to edge screen, leaves me with no emotion that I was so used to with every Apple product release. 

    So you thought going from the iPhone4 to the iPhone4s was a big enough jump with just adding Siri?
    So you thought going from the iPhone4s to the 5 with just a bigger screen was a big enough jump?
    So you though going from the 5 to the 5s was a big enough jump with just a fingerprint scan?
    or the 6 to the 6s with 3D touch?

    Bull.


    Chill out sog35. You’re missing my point. I’m like most of contract customers on a 2yr cycle. Went from 1 to 4 to 5 to 6. All fresh looks. The “s” cycle was always “under the hood” inprovement.

    Well, I guess I'm a troll then, because I'm aware that a lot of this has all been done better by other companies. I consider myself simply awake and aware of other products out there, but if that is what makes one a troll, then so be it. You can drop a Sony Xperia in the water, and it will be protected up to a meter (and it has a 3.5mm headphone jack). Xperia also had a 20.7mp camera, and that was back in 2014! What Apple is doing is not revolutionary, so please stop acting like it is. While everyone was eagerly awaiting the iPhone 6, other companies were doing laps around this crap, and Apple fanboys and fangirls missed it.

    I can't wait for the iPhone 7 to die while I'm trying to listen to music, and then I won't be able to listen anymore, because the same jack being used for my ear buds is needed to charge the phone. THAT people, is how Apple is going to get you to spend more money. Sure, they will give you that adapter, but they know your battery is going to die, and you're going to want to charge your phone and still use the ear buds... thus making you buy the overpriced wireless ones. Honestly, if it weren't for the integration, and the fact that I can easily track my family, I would go back to something else, because Apple just seems money hungry, and people insist on blindly buying into their bullcrap. 
    Some fanboys missed those victory laps by other companies for a good reason
